Pavement owned by Bristol City Council and responsible for, is overgrown with shrubs, low hanging sharp twigs etc. causing potential health hazard related to eyes getting poked. The pavement is too narrow for wheelchair, elderly and other disabled users and pram users. Overgrown shrubs is also the lone cause for frequent fly tipping that the neighbourhood is currently cleaning up themselves. We have to resort to reporting the flytiping to the council going forward instead of cleaning up ourselves.
